Project Abstract: The goal of this project is to strengthen the theoretical and practical foundations for understanding, developing and implementing assessments embedded in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) curricula. The project aims to interweave threads from four research areas: 1) cognitive science, 2) curriculum development, 3) instructional practice and teacher preparation, and 4) educational measurement and psychometric modeling to advance knowledge of assessment in STEM. The main product will be a monograph that will unify and extend disciplinary understandings; identify important questions, issues and problems relevant to informative assessment for future research; and articulate a broad-based multidisciplinary research agenda for informative assessment. A key assumption underlying this proposal is that successful implementation of effective mathematics and science curricula depends on the presence in the classroom of high quality embedded assessments that inform the teaching and learning processes, and is sensitive to the needs of diverse learner groups.The synthesis research in this project will be structured by an organizing framework of aspects of assessment validity, based on reviews of multiple research literatures, and guided by advice from a outstanding panel of experts from across the four supporting research areas whose work and expertise are centrally relevant to STEM teaching and learning and whose interests include assessment, and the needs of diverse populations. The project will enhance knowledge and understanding of assessment in STEM areas and to improve the broader theoretical perspectives and practical foundations underlying informative assessment. The project?s main goal to bring informative assessments significantly into K-12 STEM classrooms nationwide, and other education and training settings.

项目摘要：该项目的目标是加强理解、开发和实施科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）课程中嵌入的评估的理论和实践基础。该项目旨在将四个研究领域的线索结合起来：1)认知科学，2)课程开发，3)教学实践和教师准备，4)教育测量和心理测量建模，以推进STEM评估的知识。主要成果将是一本统一和扩展学科理解的专著；确定与未来研究的信息评估相关的重要问题、议题和问题；并为信息性评估阐明一个基础广泛的多学科研究议程。这一建议的一个关键假设是，有效的数学和科学课程的成功实施取决于课堂上是否存在高质量的嵌入式评估，这些评估为教学过程提供信息，并对不同学习者群体的需求敏感。本项目的综合研究将以评估有效性方面的组织框架为基础，基于对多个研究文献的回顾，并以来自四个支持研究领域的杰出专家小组的建议为指导，这些专家的工作和专业知识与STEM教学和学习核心相关，其兴趣包括评估，以及不同人群的需求。该项目将增强对STEM领域评估的认识和理解，并改善信息评估的更广泛的理论视角和实践基础。这个项目吗?我们的主要目标是将信息性评估显著引入全国的K-12 STEM教室，以及其他教育和培训环境。
